Jigoku Shoujo Wallpaper: Bring Me to Life

Artist Comment

I started re-watching Jigoku Shoujo anime and watching Jigoku Shoujo Live Action, and it came up to me that I've always
wanted to do a vector of Ai. I really love her long black hair, and I've always taught "I bet it's so much fun
vectoring her hair". It really was! Also, I've always loved her facial expression--eerie, deep, mysterious and, at
the same time, innocent. It's also quite the deviation from the usual--couple wallies. Almost all of my wallies feature
couples. As for the color scheme here, instead of the usual shades of red, I decided to go for blue :)

Duration: 3 days...vectoring Ai took 2 days (coming up with ideas for the whole wall and background is usually done when
I'm lying in my bed during bedtime haha) then spent the whole day today vectoring her wings and finishing everything
else
Layers: 90+ layers
Musical inspiration: Bring Me to Life by Evanscence

there's a live action of hellgirl? *takes notes* I do believe I'm going to have to find that one, behind the times as
always

but back to the piece, I like the cuteness of it. you sure do enjoy doing the cuteness of things, I like the brushes
that you like to use, the cheerful colors and brightness. I also like the detail in this one, the decoration in the top
left of the piece captured my attention first and foremost and then all that white ! although I do have to state you did
a fantastic job on the butterfly wings and the space flying theme. nicely done over all.
